We get a lot of hits from Google searches, Amway losers looking for “Artistry cosmetics” or “Artistry cosmetics Euromonitor”. Undoubtedly some searchers are IBO’s or their potential customers and they’re looking for product information and they come across thispage about Artistry and realize it wasn’t what they were looking for.
I decided to check it out. (this post first appeared several years ago). When I put “Artistry cosmetics” into Google this blog is #12. If I add Euromonitor to the search criteria its #5. The top page hits ahead of this blog are Amway propaganda pages about Artistry and a couple of IBO’s looking for customers. Or that’s my best guess. I didn’t actually click on any of those links. I’ll let IBOFB do that and report back if I guessed wrong in case he thinks I give a flying fuck!
I decided to try Google in a few other countries and chose countries with languages I understand: Canada, United Kingdom, Mexico, and Spain. Similar search results with Euromonitor about #4 or #5, but typing just “Artistry cosmetics” the other countries are #8 showing up on Google’s first page.
OK now I’m sure IBOFB is going to double check those countries Google search engines and come back to announce that this page has slipped to #15 or whatever and say that he checked a couple of random countries like Siberia and Iraq and this post about Artistry isn’t even on the radar.
As I already said I think some hits are IBOs looking for product information and then they leave when they see my blog wasn’t what they were looking for but many visitors stay awhile reading my other posts. That tells me IBOs or their disenchanted spouses are doing what I did and looking for information to find out if the speakers from the stage were lying when they said Artistry is one of the top 5 cosmetics companies in the world.
If you read my previous blog about Artistry and the following comments IBOFB shows up and says that according to Euromonitor Artistry is one of the top 5 prestige cosmetics in the world. Well I’d never heard of Euromonitor until then and thats probably the case for many people on this side of the Atlantic. In fact I thought it was a magazine but it turns out to be a market research firm and Amway pays them to place them in #2. Perhaps Amway should have used an American market research firm whose name would be familiar to people on this side of the pond. Or perhaps Amway should have paid Euromonitor more money for the #1 spot.
I never ever heard a Platinum, Emerald, or Diamond speaker say Artistry is one of the top 5 “prestige” cosmetics. Never! They always said Artistry is the top 5 best selling or top 5 best in the world.
After IBOFB gave us a few good laughs about how Artistry is in the top 5 prestige cosmetics companies the comments turned to what women are looking for when buying cosmetics. No one considers “prestige” when buying makeup. More important considerations are price, selection, and quality. That’s how women select their cosmetics. We like to get good value for our money.
Bottom line is it doesn’t matter where this blog ends up on the Google search engine. This blog serves as healing tool to vent about our sponsor and upline and the financial and emotional distress that goes hand in hand with being involved in the cult but I wonder how Amway feels about this blog being right behind the top hits about Artistry propaganda. A lot of people seeking information click on that link and see:
a. I prefer Avon
b. Artistry is too high priced
c. the Forbes list of the world’s top 10 selling cosmetics
d. a bunch of funny comments about prestige makeup
If the readers are not too brainwashed that gives them something to think about. Namely they discover Amway cult leaders speaking from the stage lied to them.
So Amway pays a corrupt market research firm ("Euromonitor") to put Artistry cosmetics high on the list of products in demand. How typical.
ReplyDeleteAs for IBOFartback (David Steadson), the man was just a paid flack and shill for Amway. Pay him enough, and he'd say Sneaky Pete Wine was a top French vintage.
It's simply amazing to see how lying and deceit are an integral part of the entire Amway mindset and practice.
Anonymous- you gotta wonder why Amway pays for Euromonitor at all when they can just lie about it. After all that’s what all their commissioned sales reps do is lie.
DeleteThat IBOFB motherfucker might have been a paid shill for Amway and hit everywhere online that people talk about Scamway and lie and make a fucking asshole out of himself and Amway but then Amway figured out they have a huge fleet of Ambots going all over the Internet making assholes out of themselves and Amway. For free! So why pay an evil motherfucker to do a one man job when you got an army of motherfuckers doing that job for free.
